The Many Faces Of Joaquin Phoenix

Editor, Europe; Rotterdam, The Netherlands (@ardvark23)
Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice is doing its rounds West of the Atlantic, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam has scheduled the international premiere of the film for today. Dustin reviewed the film and enjoyed it lots, so what an excellent reason to do a quiz on Joaquin Phoenix!

During his brother River Phoenix' meteoric rise, Joaquin (then still called Leaf Phoenix) was very much in his shadow as just one of the other acting Phoenix siblings, like Rain, Summer and Liberty. But in the past decades, Joaquin has acquired himself a fantastic resume, which has Hollywood blockbusters, Oscar bait, and daring indies on it. He's a great actor, and his choice of roles and filmmakers is interesting enough to always keep him on the radar, to see what he'll do next.

Therefore, once again I'm going to use a gallery of close-ups of one of my favorite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images and guess which movies (or shows) they're from! No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb.
And I'll post the answers next Thursday (earlier if someone has all eleven of them right).


Peter Martin and Michele "Izzy" Galgana contributed to this story.

And here he is as smokin' detective Doc Sportello in Inherent Vice.

This picture doesn't count yet for the quiz, but all others do. So please browse through the gallery. Click on the edge of this picture to get the next one, and see how many of them all you can identify!
